People who believe that they can only buy GME via specifically Robinhood, I'm not sure I see them as sophisticated investors or even "understand what they're doing".

I think that people should be able to spend their money however they want. I also don't mind when regulators say "liquor stores are blocked from having one-day specials the day that welfare benefits are paid."

If Robinhood believes that their customers are better served by blocking certain transactions, I trust Robinhood to make that call (and suffer the goodwill or ill-will that results).

JingOS v0.6 Official Release
> How would you prevent a group from trolling or performing a hostile takeover of a small domain?

Several ways.

If you are accessing the domain locally, you'd normally be looking for entries that match the private key you have stored. So if you ever went to that domain, you'll get the same remote again.

If this is your first time accessing the domain, you'd ask your peers what version of the domain they have stored. Those aren't randomly assigned, but people you know IRL, similar to Freenet. You could do some degree of onion routing if you care about keeping sites you go to private from your friends. And again, you'd only do it the first time. And this is hard to attack because you can't make a person have friends in the WOT graph.

When you are following a link, the person placing the link could always just attach the full private key to the link tag.

If you are copying a URL from your browser bar, the browser could attach a random set of index-value pairs of the private key. This would be very hard to spoof, but not increase the size of the URL by much. That would cover you for posting links in forums and chat rooms.

Of course if you were searching for the domain, your first hit would almost certainly have the correct key.

Only if you are told the URL through an out-of-band source, and almost nobody you know (transitively) has gone to that domain, you are in the situation of having to figure out which key is the true key. In that case, you could fall back to certificate checks. Note that certificates as a market are a lot more competetive than the domain name market.

So there's no one-size-fits-all solution, but just like right now, most of the time you wouldn't have to think about it. And unlike right now, if it goes wrong you get a nice error instead of silently the wrong domain.

How much do you think Citadel has made off of GME in the last week?
I’m kind of embarrassed to say it never occurred to me that the goal of kettling was to encourage a non-violent protest to violence. Thinking on it, it makes a sort of sick sense. If the people are actually violent the rules go out the window and you can use whatever force you deem necessary. And the police always consider themselves the superior group.
I don't think the title of this post does the story justice.

The buy UI widget under GameStop's stock symbol has been replaced with: "This stock is not supported on Robinhood."

It seems the ability to buy the stock has been completely removed, however they left in the ability to sell.

That is much different than "limited" because other platforms only prevented options trading but still allowed purchasing it with funds you already have.

I too bought those shares with the anticipation that the price will go up due to the hype generated. I made a careful decision to do so by estimating that the traffic on /r/wsb will increase because of the news coverage, which causes people to buy those shares. I don't live in the states and don't use Robinhood, but a local broker that charged me a good bit for US stock trading.

Robinhood halting trading tanked the price in afterhours immediately, and it will likely crash further on opening because of this. As a result, I too will lose money.

Sure that's what you get with market gambling and speculation but I find it ridiculous that this company now singlehandled crashed the stock and results in losses for global independent investors like myself.

Being able to only sell shares and not buy is directly playing towards the hedge funds. It will drive the price down and positions might get closed. If what reddit did was market gambling and manipulation, what robinhood is now doing is the same, just in the opposite direction.
Awesome, thanks for the reply.
GME stock has been on nasdaq's "failed to deliver" list for about a month now. That means someone sold a GME share they didn't own (short) and failed to give it to the new owner within the correct timeframe (3 business days I believe.)

Guess what the SEC has done about this blatant naked short selling. Nothing.

So while in theory naked short selling is illegal, in reality it is tolerate and allowed.

From Schawb

“It is not uncommon for us to place restrictions on some transactions in certain securities in the interest of helping mitigate risk for our clients,”

from Massachusetts secretary of the commonwealth

“It is very clear to anyone looking at the numbers that the whole marketplace is being manipulated here,” he said.

I imagine Robinhood's thinking is similar
As I understand it, the hedge funds had naked shorts. That's illegal. If they did, what is happening to them serves them right.

Even if they didn't, a "short squeeze" is perfectly legal. If the short sellers think the stock is overpriced, and there's others that think its underpriced, then both sides are placing their bets and will deal with the result, either by making or losing a lot of money.

This is not a "pump and dump", this is an unco-ordinated short squeeze. A bunch of people decided to take the short sellers on.

Whether everyone involved understands the risk of a short squeeze to them by going long is a prime case of "caveat emptor". They're not even buying calls, they're actually buying the stock.

The short sellers are being squeezed mercilessly and will eventually have to bail out. At that point the stock will tank back to a more realistic position and the people that went long too late and didn't exit will also lose lots of money.

Of course, they won't crystalize those losses until they sell.

There's still like 10x the dislikes then the likes. So a pretty crappy conspiracy if it doesn't even get a positive like to dislike ratio. Or it's a whole bunch of bots/spam mixed in with legitimate dislikes.
I could see how a regulator can peg Wall Street Bets as some vague case of market manipulation, but this is a whole new level. They're closing the public out of the public markets. There's really no formal argument to support this. What, the stock price is overvalued because of concentrated investments propping it up? That's pretty much most of the market.
So nobody should ever buy a stock unless something material, as defined by you, has changed? Not because they think it'll go up in the future?
Kind of. But it is a really good point and I'll try to explain:

As long as both parties use a known safe version of e.g. Signal everything is kind-of good.

Messages may pass through NSAs and GRUs headquarters and they are none the wiser even if they have access to Signals servers.

However, if any of them somehow manage to strongarm a release of Signal through the release channels and you or whoever you talk to updates or auto-updates Signal and that new release somehow uploads data from the Signal client, then for most of us we would be none the wiser.

> Require Chinese companies to adhere to specific technical requirements [...] Technical Restrictions [...] End-to-end encryption: Mandating the use of open source encryption protocols that limits the service provider’s access to user data. This eliminates the ability for the Chinese government to access the encrypted data.

Might it now be useful to add this to the political argument for privacy? Opposition to encryption as support for Chinese government intelligence gathering.

Citadel is one of the "cheater" funds along with Melvin, Point72 (previously SAC Capital Advisers) and Maplelane (ex-Galleon Group). They all have connections to insider trading of some sort since it was legal to know stuff like earnings beforehand, etc. before reg FD in 2001, and the seeds from that age are still there in these funds. They certainly aren't the type to be below doing something like this.

Citadel could also be absolutely fucking themselves if they end up in discovery over this. It could mean the end of this era of funds. Many would be glad to see them go.
I don't get the analogy.

Also mind: Even if pull requests are off somebody else might emerge and maintain a fork, which becomes more successful. Maybe even going as far that that the original owner can safely outsource the maintenance of the thing he created.
Which is not remotely illegal, and most brokers do the same thing, except they used to charge people to buy and sell as well but now just make money from order flow. In fact market makers have always been involved in stock sales to ensure a fluid market; none of this is new. What is new is that buying and selling stocks costs you nothing, so there is no barrier to anyone to put money in or take it out. While everyone thinks it's a great thing, it's no different that allowing free communication in exchange for your personal data (ie Facebook) instead of requiring you to pay to communicate via mail or phone or plan things in person. Free always has a cost; in this case free involve scads of money changing hands with the folks at the end holding the bag, and anyone can pump the market to ensure they make a profit, and someone else takes a loss.
True, but if they sell a massive position and the stock tanks, and a bunch of little guys are left to hold the bag, I could see the SEC definitely investigating it as a pump and dump.

The opposite is true:

The idea behind these trades is that they will not in fact suffer any losses because they bought in after the naked shorts brought the stock down to a low valuation. If they keep the stock high enough, long enough, the naked shorts will have to buy back the stock at much higher prices than the price was when this short squeeze was started. That's why short squeezes are a thing in the first place. This is no different than what Carl Icahn did to herbalife and Bill Ackman.

When companies keep these people from implementing their strategy, they expose these individuals(their own customers) to potential huge losses.

the narrative that the evil corporate oligarchs are ruining peoples lives is certainly rooted in truth, but it is not true enough that people need to die about it.

once people with actual problems get involved, all these kulaks are gonna realize how much they have to lose.

Are we sure this is from the early '90s?

For reference, CERN released the original Web software to the public in April 1993, HTML tables (which feature prominently on this page) entered the standard toward the end of 1995, and the version of HTML this page uses, 4.0 transitional, was published in December 1997. In short, aside from the embedded YouTube video, this looks more like a late '90s website to me.

For reference, here is an example of what I would expect an early '90s website to look like: http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html
Some more context on this project:

Like most I guess, I definitely felt a lot of FOMO when I see news about stocks that went up by 100% and option traders who are making a lot of money, I personally know a few.

I didn't like how I am getting to know about these trades, until they are on the top. Stocktwits and few other websites do some good work in signal boosting, up and coming stocks, but sometimes the volume is too low for people to pick it up.

Reddit has been a great community for all things financial, so I turned to the OG community, r/wallstreetbets to see what are they talking about and make a real time leaderboard out of it.

I am using a plain string matching(using a Trie of all stock tickers) with some context of using $ in the comments, so there could be some everyday words that slipped into the list, but the top of them are very obvious($AMC, $GME etc).

I also got this domain(stonks.news) last year, planning to build some tools I would personally use over next few months and may be the community would like them too. Appreciate any suggestions or comments on what would you want to see in fintech(charts, alerts about earnings etc).
Probably bots, people who do nothing but dislike videos, Indian sweatshops that are human bot farms, dislikes driven by social media posts calling for users to add dislikes, etc.
I have _always_ been able to either change the terms of the contract, or get (in writing) an acceptable, more limited interpretation of what's written in the contract (by defining a term in the more strict sense of the word instead of keeping it broad).
